Chapter 14: Mama & Papa
Maya's POV
That house seems so familiar, I wonder why. I guess I'll go take a look.
I flew down and landed in front of the door. As I went to go turn the knob, the door was locked, but something inside me told me to move the third brick next to the knob. As I did, there was the key. An odd feeling came over me and as I opened the door, I had a flashback.
Flashback
"Mama, Papa I'm home" I said (7 years old)
"Hello Maya how was practice" asked Mom.
"She's a natural, she's gifted!" said Uncle Bruce.
"Thanking you for taking me today Uncle Bruce, its so fun to train with you, I want to be as powerful as you when I grow up." I giggled.
"But what about Mama and Papa," frowned Papa.
"I wanna be as smart as Papa, and as pretty as Mama, since I have the best family in the world," as happy as could be.
"You are correct and since you re being to darn sweet, I'm sure everyone will love you" said Mama.
"The boys will be all over you when your a teenager, especially if you look like your mother." said Uncle Bruce.
"No! Boys will never be good enough for my daughter!" said Papa squishing me.
"But Papa there is a boy who has caught my eye" I said trying to get out of Papa's arms.
"What?! No I won't allow it, who has your heart, I'll destroy him" said Papa getting fired up.
"The trapeze boy at the circus, the one that played with me the last two times we were there." I said smiling innocently.
"Richard Grayson, how ironic since he will be part of Bruce's family" giggled Mama.
"Good taste in men and cute." said Uncle Bruce.
Reality
"What was that?" I said grabbing my head. That was when I realized it was me. I found myself in the kitchen, it was clean and little dusty but not bad, but then I turned around and found a mess of broken glass and furniture and places of dried blood. I walked closer and another memory hit me, but this one wasn't so happy.
(5 years ago)
I heard a loud noise and got out of bed to go and see what is was. As I climbed down the stairs I saw a man attacking my mom, with my dad unconscious.
"MAMA!" I shouted as I saw her stabbed for what appeared to be the second time.
"Maya Run!" said Mama.
"Oh, so here is our guest of honor," chuckled the murdering figure.
"W-who are you and why are you doing this," I said holding back tears.
"Oh, how rude of me, the name is Joker, but you sweet one can call me Uncle J" he laughed.
"No, get out of here, my family hasn't done anything to you," I said trying to go over to Mama. But I was stopped by Papa who grabbed my hand. Then I saw Mama grab the Joker and at Papa and I to run. Papa then pressed 1031 into the keypad then we ran into the tunnel as I saw Joker stab Mama once again.
Reality
"Mom, you- you died saving me.." my whole body was shaking, my vision was blurry; I was crying. Then I remembered the tunnel.
What happened next?
As much as I didn't want to know but I had to know, so I looked at the keypad and slowly I typed in the code which was my birth date. I could barely type in the first two digits. I was shaking uncontrollably, I was feeling like I would throw up, and the tears would stop falling. I loved her so much and my mother had died for me. I slowly walked down the hallway, as the door behind me closed after a minute or two. As I walked I found myself inside a lab all in white, then I reached the other side and found more dried blood, my head started to hurt again as another flashback hit me.
Flashback
"Papa!" I said as I watched in horror as Papa was stabbed by Joker the first time by Joker.
"Leave my daughter alone" said Papa fighting back.
"But she can be oh so useful to me, I want, no I need a cute and powerful play thing," said Joker stabbing Papa twice more.
"PAPA! Please stop it, please don't hurt him anymore just leave him alone!" I said even though my body would dare move from the corner.
"Rick!" I heard a familiar voice and as Papa turned to the voice Joker stabbed Papa through the chest!
Reality
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" I screamed and my mind felt like it was exploding. it hurt and I didn't realize I had started digging my nails into my head puncturing the skin then blood slowly started to fall down my face.
"Please make it stop!" I shouted over and over.
"Maya!" I heard my name called by a familiar voice but everything faded to black.
Robin's POV
Batman had joined us and we were on the roof looking at the house.
"The door is unlocked" said Aqualad
"Let's go" said Batman as we jumped down and went inside the house.
As we entered dried blood was the first eye catching thing in the house.
"Probably her mom's" said Red Arrow.
"When we go get her, don't tell her you know who she is just pretend until she is ready to tell us" I said and Red Arrow and Aqualad nodded. We looked around but found nothing until we hear screams.
"Angel!" I shouted as I heard her screaming from inside the wall. Batman went straight for the tunnel entering the 4 digit code and then we ran into the tunnel. As we rushed I felt myself take the lead and the screams came clearer and louder.
"Maya" I shouted as we entered a white lab and that was when I spotted Angel across the room, her face was slightly bloody and tears were down her face.
"Please make it stop!" she shouted continuously. I cupped my hand around her cheeks and made her look at me.
"Maya...Maya calm down, we're here, you're friends are here. We're here, Batman, Kald'r, and Red Arrow" I said
"Please make it go away...Dick" said Maya and then her body went limp as she return to her normal form.
"Get her to the hospital, I'll...no take her to the mountain," ordered Batman leaving.
"Put her on my back" said Roy.
"I got her" said Robin.
"No, Red Arrow is stronger and the more time we waste the longer Ange is in danger there is no time to argue." said Kald'r
"Fine" I said not wanting to listen but agreeing. So slowly Maya was put on Roy's back.
"Let's go" said Roy.
We nodded and headed for the mountain.
"How is she?" I asked occasionally
"Same, I think whatever happened back there caused Ange faint or gointo shock" said Roy with a hint of worry.
"I don't know why Batman would send her to the mountain. and not a hospital" said Kald'r
" I don't know either, but right now Maya is our top priority" I said focusing on her.
Please be safe, I don't want to lose you.
Flashback
Holding her hand was nice, not to mention being under the stars.
"So Dick Grayson, what is it you find so interesting about him," I said finding it funny that I was asking questions about myself.
"I don't know, maybe because his presence, he just so bright like a candle stick," said Maya thinking about it seriously.
"So if he's a candle what am I?" I asked.
"Your the fire, you just always like to go and be free and wild, I guess I'm making you sound like a bird" she laughed.
I couldn't help but laugh as well.
"Um so may I have my hand back" she said blushing.
"Y-yeah" I said releasing her hand and blushing as well.
"Whoa look at the sunrise, it's so beautiful" she said excited and pointing at the sunrise. Sitting down next to her and seeing her smile at the sunrise made me only want to watch her.
"It sure is," I said happy I knew her.
"I've never gotten to do this with someone before, I think I want to bring the team and Red Arrow here sometime," she said excitedly.
"Red Arrow?" But he doesn't really trust you," I said.
"Sure right now, but I think he is like an onion, once you peel back those layers you'll see where his heart is" she said.
"That fits him perfectly, since he can make a lot of girls cry." I laughed
"That's so mean" she said laughing as well.
Reality
"We're here, Roy go lay her in the med-bay" ordered Kald'r. Roy nodded and left.
"Batman had a reason to have her sent here and I think it's because we need to have Miss Martian go into Ange's head and bring Ange back out." I said
"Why not have Martian Manhunter?" questioned Kald'r.
"Because Angel's mind will only trust M'gann's mind." I said figuring it out.
"I hooked up Night Angel up, she should be fine for the time being" said Roy returning.
I sighed, "some birthday"
"Night Angel's" inquired Kald'r.
I nodded.
"I see, well I should get going" said Roy.
"Thank you for you help tonight" I said.
"We're friends" he said and left.
"Now we wait for the rest of the team, calling them will cause unnecessary action," said Kald'r.
I nodded and headed to see Maya. I sat next to her in the chair and brushed the extra hair out of her face.
"I wish I had gotten there sooner. then maybe I could of stopped you or had gone with you to confront your memories." I said so mad at myself for being so useless.
If only I had powers then maybe you would be fine now.
Time passed and possibly an hour later, the computer recognized the rest of the team.
"Dude can you believe Marvin, We got him so good," laughed Wally.
"M'gann" said Kald'r walking straight faced.
"yes?" asked M'gann as nicely as she always did.
"We need your assistance, something has happened to Night Angel" explained Kald'r.
"Wait! What happened to her?" shouted Conner.
"It seems Ange has regained some of her memories back," answered Kal.
"What wouldn't that be considered a good thing?" asked Artemis.
"The memories seem to be the death...or murder of her parents by Joker," confessed Kal.
The team seemed to be shocked by the sudden news.
"Shouldn't we let my uncle do this, I mean he is more experienced than I" explained M'gann.
"But Ange only trust's you to go inside of her head" I said walking out.
"I guess your right, I'll do my best" and with that we headed over to the med-bay.
"I need everyone to leave the room, there can't be any distractions" ordered M'gann and with that everyone but Conner and I had left the room.
"You both need to leave as well" said M'gann
I get why I want to stay but why Conner? Unless he...No he likes M'gann.
"She's become a close friend, I'm not leaving" refuse Conner.
"Batman entrusted her to me, I'm not going anywhere" I said only partially lying.
"Fine, but you both need to be quiet, the mind is very fragile especially Ange's" finished M'gann. With that Conner and I sat down. M'gann eyes went white and she dove into Maya's mind.
